Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments. It exclusively uses Visual Studio and .NET SDK for the walkthrough, with no mention of Linux-compatible alternatives (such as VS Code, CLI, or Python SDK). All tooling instructions (e.g., using Notepad, SQL Server Management Studio, Visual Studio, NuGet Package Manager Console) are Windows-centric. There are no Linux or cross-platform code samples, nor guidance for users on Linux or macOS. The only reference to further tutorials is a PowerShell-based page, reinforcing the Windows-first approach.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions for Linux and macOS users, such as using VS Code or JetBrains Rider instead of Visual Studio.
  • Provide examples using Azure Data Factory's Python SDK and Azure CLI, which are cross-platform.
  • Include instructions for installing required packages via pip (for Python) or dotnet CLI (for .NET Core), not just NuGet Package Manager Console.
  • Replace Notepad with a generic text editor (e.g., nano, vim, VS Code) for file creation.
  • Mention SQL management tools available on Linux/macOS (e.g., Azure Data Studio) instead of only SSMS and Visual Studio.
  • Ensure all code samples and steps are runnable on Linux and macOS, or provide parallel sections for those platforms.
  • Link to cross-platform tutorials and avoid referencing only PowerShell-based next steps.
